RE: [IMail Forum] 8.05 Whitelisting not working

Title: Message

One would think that a whitelist means just that… a list of addresses that pass through the filters without being filtered…   Considering the time and effort it took to get this Imail server going from the old server we had when I started here a couple of months ago (Argosoft Mail server), and the flurry of emails regarding upgrades to 8.10 causing major issues with the queuemgr, I don’t plan on upgrading to 8.10 until they release a smaller point release.  The people who complain the loudest about email also happen to own/run the company. I’m not going to even put myself through another round of that… ;)  That was the driving force to get Imail in the first place.   I guess I’ll have to deal with the whitelist issue until 8.10+ comes out.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Comerford Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 8.05 Whitelisting not working   Check the order of processing in 8.05... the "whitelist" feature did not work as one would expect -- some checks were done before the whitelist was checked... This has been changed in 8.1 to work more like one would expect a "whitelist" to work.  I dont remember the order off hand but it is in the archives and/or documentation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Kiiskila Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 12:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] 8.05 Whitelisting not working I was wondering if anyone else has an idea why my whitelisting isn’t working:   I’ve put the whitelist into the root, I’ve put it into the folder for our domain, and still it is not allowing whitelisted addresses/domains to slip through without being filtered. Everything is listed as it should be in the spam control email control panels in Imail, but they still are getting filtered improperly.   We received approx 550 emails this weekend into the spam filter box, 26 false positives. All but one of the false positives were whitelisted addresses/domains.  I know it isn’t much spam, and I could have lived with the single false positive but for the fact that whitelisted emails are going through the spam filters. It makes me wonder if the product’s working properly.   Don Kiiskila Network Administrator Snapstream Media LLC http://www.snapstream.com "You cannot make anything fool-proof.
